I’ve been using weighted stick training for over a decade. I started off by using weight plates at the bottom. Then companies started making velcro weighted straps you could attach to the blade which was a significant improvement. However, the issue was that it was just all heavy in one area. Then I purchased wieghted sticks and it was a lot better, but the issue was that it didn’t have the proper feel, weight distribution, flex, curve patterns, lie etc that I wanted. This is where GEL STX has dominated. I got one 4 months ago and have been using it nearly every day. As a stickhandling coach, I love how it forces both top and bottom hand to work extra hard while maintainng good form. It also forces you to slow everything down due to the extra weight which is a good “skill revisiting” tool to use to build consistency in areas of your stickhandling. After using it for just 1 minute then switching to my normal stick, I feel way stronger and begin to move the stick around with better control and more speed.

In terms of shooting, it is remarkable! You get the proper flex so that you don’t have to change your shooting form. Other sticks I used were just heavy so they really didn’t offer much for shooting which ruined the ability to build a harder shot and have that transfer to a game. The feeling of setting down the GEL STX and picking up my normal stick and ripping shots is amazing! Just feels effortless and with the force needed from top and bottom hand (push and pull) to generate flex, it was great to have to drive that much harder on the stick to produce a quality shot.

Overall I couldn’t be more impressed with this training tool, and I highly recommend it.
